Transformation Through Hand and Soul
As a Filipino-American artist, my journey is one of ancestral return and personal evolution. Inspired by the Pacific fishhook tradition, I explore the intersection of heritage and transformation. Each daras is a hand-carved pendant that bridges the gap between the ancestral and the contemporary, crafted with a soulful dedication to the materials and the stories they carry.
